Burrowing owl rescue. Late this evening, I received a report of an owl that was hanging out at the entrance of Kaiser ER hospital. Nurses saw the owl all day hanging out under one of the ambulances. Previously I had a similar report of a Burrowing owl that was acting odd just 1 block away from the hospital. That report also indicated that an owl was just "hanging" around and didn't seem to be concerned with all the busy human and vehicle traffic. So I decided to conduct a welfare check to make sure the owl was ok. Once we arrived on scene the owl became very cautious of our rescue nets and made us work at capturing him. Finally we were successful and I decided to bring him into the wildlife shelter to make sure he is ok. California's Burrowing owl population is dwindling so its crucial to make sure we make every effort to help these little guys.

"Another example of great teamwork. Yesterday I received a report of an egret that was seen tangled in fishing line and had fishing line hanging out of this mouth. I knew this was going to be a challenging rescue because the egret could still fly and was in a large area of the American River. Andrea Willey, Tracy Youngstedt and other volunteers braved the icy cold morning water to help rescue this egret. It took over 2 hours of maneuvers to catch this egret. We originally made plans with International Bird Rescue in Fairfield California to take the bird for rehabilitation but they declined to help this suffering bird that was choking on a fish hook. Because this rescue happened on a Sunday, our options were very limited for emergency veterinarian care. After many calls, Shingle Springs Veterinary Clinic decided to receive the egret. They informed us they could only provide x-rays for us but not any type of surgery since they did not have any experience with waterfowl related birds. Andrea and myself are former veterinarian technicians and Andrea is now a practicing surgical doctor. So we offered our services and the clinic allowed us to provide emergency treatment that involved surgical removal of the fish hook. Once the fishing hook and line was removed, Leslie Ackerman offered to care for the egret during its recovery. Special thanks to DVM Bader for allowing us to use his clinic and generously donated his time and equipment to save this egret. # teamwork"

ArmOR Hand helping with bear bathtub time!

"🛁 It is bath time for Black Bear Cub 24-3926. While he was not exactly a fan, this quick bath allowed for us to get him cleaned up and then saturate his dry skin with Aquaphor. He was back snuggled up and warm in his crate soon after and enjoyed his dinner just an hour later.

The latest update - his initial bloodwork came back without anything concerning. Regarding the skin cultures, it may take a few more weeks before we have final results.

❤️‍🩹 While it will be weeks before we know how he will respond to the treatments and rehabilitation, we are glad to do everything we can to help him heal and stay comfortable while in our care.

We will be sharing additional updates as we have them and are able, both here and on our Instagram profile so please check back if you'd like to know more."

Operation Screech Owl. Yesterday, I received a report that a homeowners 9 week old English Labrador alerted his new owners about an owl inside their fireplace. The homeowners had heard some unknown noise the night before coming from the fireplace but didn't know what it was until "Riley" detected the motion and noise of the owl. Leslie Brandon Ackerman, Aimee Staats and myself initially responded but the owl quickly decided to fly back up into the fireplace flue. Leslie jumped into action and made no hesitation to immerse herself in 20 years of smoky build-up and ash soot inside the fireplace. We used my portable inspection camera to try and pinpoint the owl who was hiding in a deep inaccessible flue box. Reinforcements came by the way of Lynette Vertrees, Tracy Youngstedt and Jann Nichols who were a tremendous help. We kept trying to figure a way to access the very small crawl space of the flue. We made make-shift probing tools but nothing worked. As day 3 approached, we knew that time was critical to rescue this Western Screech Owl. For at least 3 days the owl had no food or water and very little breathable oxygen inside the fireplace. We decided to leave all the glass doors open on the fireplace and hoped the owl would fly out on its own inside the homeowners clean house. The homeowners even asked me to spend the night and stay on owl watch all night so I could be prepared to catch the owl at anytime during the night. Luckily this evening, the owl made his exit just before dark and flew into the living room. The owl landed on a lamp and I was able to catch him before it became too late. The owl is now with a licensed rehabber and receiving care for dehydration and a health exam. Thank you to all those who helped and gave up many hours and ate fireplace soot. Special thanks to "Riley" who also saved this owl from certain death if not found in time.
